We almost lose to a division 2 team...

and our RPI goes up. The human element of judgment goes a long way lol.

That number is pre-FHSU

Although we only dropped one spot to 15, looking at today’s stuff.

Also, Wash St...

will be considered a bad loss if we lose and they are undefeated and getting votes to be ranked. Possibly the best team we’ve played, up there with Dayton.

I assume you meant "will NOT be considered a bad loss"?

That’s true, despite the Gonzaga loss… with two caveats:

1. The Pac-10 is really weak this year, so Wazzu better do their resume work this month.

2. Home losses are always semi-bad losses. Much better to lost at neutral sites or on the road. If I had my druthers, I’d like to win at least the next two and save the losses for Las Vegas and Mobile.

what I meant was that...

Wash St has and RPI of 146 this day. Team’s over 100 are listed as “bad losses”.

Bad Losses only count come tourney time

I can’t imagine the Cougars keeping that low of an RPI (See Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Xavier, etc…)

Loyola will not be a great win by season’s end.
IUPUI will not be a good win by season’s end.

What mystman said

I didn’t realize you meant “bad loss” on my little chart.

I was thinking long-term.

But I guess it could be. Oregon had a decent non-con showing last year, too, but tanked in conference play.
